Flashes/Cardinals DVD
This weeks Rivalry story features the 1989 Fillmore Varsity Football Team. That year the Flashes enjoyed a record-setting season that saw the Flashes make their first C.I.F. playoff appearance in six years. Behind the guidance of 2nd year head coach Curtis Garner, the team won it's first nine games before losing to Carpinteria in the regular season finale. That year the Flashes opened their football season with a win over their arch rival, Santa Paula Cardinals, 14-8. The Flashes made the playoffs, and went to the 2ND round of C.I.F. where they met Montclair Prep and lost. While the team ended the season with a 10-2 record, it did lay claim to over a dozen new school records at that time, such as most points scored on offense, and most shutouts on defense. This year marks the 100Th meeting between the Flashes and Santa Paula Cardinals on November 12Th in Fillmore. In celebrating this event, the Alumni Association is producing a DVD Documentary of the Series. Interviews, Stories, and game films are being compiled to make this DVD. If you ever played in this game or cheered from the stands you will want to have this special DVD in your household. To order your copy, please call the F.H.S.
